When assassins ambush
her best friend, the crown prince, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to
save him, exposing her ability to perform all seven kinds of elemental
magic. The only people who should possess this extraordinary power are a
pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light and salvation and a queen
of blood and destruction. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must
endure seven trials to test her magic. If she fails, she will be
executed...unless the trials kill her first.
A thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a mere fairy tale to bounty hunter Eliana Ferracora. When the Undying Empire conquered her kingdom, she embraced violence to keep her family alive. Now, she believes herself untouchable--until her mother vanishes without a trace, along with countless other women in their city. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain on a dangerous mission and discovers that the evil at the heart of the empire is more terrible than she ever imagined.
As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world--and of each other.

I got an ARC of this book from a FairyLoot Box and was approved for it on NetGalley as well only shortly after. With both a physical as well as a kindle copy and a captivating synopsis I knew I had to read it as soon as possible.
The
synopsis really caught my attention because it sounded so interesting
and I was not disappointed. The only thing that annoyed me was the
switching POVs. Don’t get me wrong I loved to read both about Rielle and
Eliana, but it’s always so disappointing when you’re fully immersed in a
story and have to switch to another one.
As for
our heroines, I liked them both, although I think I prefer Eliana.
They’re both strong, powerful women who know how to take care of
themselves and fight for what they think is right. They both also have a
darker
side to them, which they both have to deal with, although we already
know that Rielle will lose the fight. Or at least that’s the way it
seems.
The rest
of the of the characters were more superficially written, which I get
because this is about the two queens, but I still would have liked to
get to know them a little better.
The Plot
is both exhilarating and exciting. I love the fact that we saw both the
beginning of the story, as well as what happens centuries later and I
can’t wait for it to continue. It was a great to see the contrast
between Rielles life at court and Elianas life as a famous Assassin.
The trials Rielle had to face were just as nerve-wrecking as Elianas journey through the country.
